Question

When in orbit, a satellite such as the space shuttle is
a. simply a projectile.
b. in non-accelerated motion.
c. free from Earth's gravity.

Answer 1

When in orbit, a satellite such as the space shuttle s in non-accelerated motion. 

Answer 2

Answer: B

Explanation:

When in orbit, a satellite is hold in position thanks to, between others, the earth's gravity. So the C option is discarded.

A projectile is an object thrown by the exertion of some force, like a bullet or a cannonball.

A satellite is placed in some orbit, so he can rotate the earth. The movement of the satellite is non-accelerated motion, because the only forces that act on the satellite are the forces that hold him in orbit.
